I've spent last couple of weeks reviewing various authoring systems for
IBM-compatibles. Now, I'd like to start working on *multimedia*.
Here, at Acadia we have several 386's, IBM clones and right now none of
them has any "multimedia hardware" (CD-ROM, etc.). I'd like to be able to
store/play sound and store/play realtime animation. Would you please send
me suggestions as to what I should buy (for example, what hardware boards
for the sound; can DVI be installed in a clone, etc.). My budget is rather
limited, and I'm too poor to waste money on hardware that hasn't been tested.
I'll post responses.
P.S. Please don't suggest Amiga's and Mac's (I have nothing against them,
but I've made up my mind and will be using 386/486's).
